What we love about these Pumpkin Waffles:
The Fall Spices: A touch of nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon gives these waffles that holiday aroma and taste we all love. That Cinnamon Syrup: While you can definitely serve pumpkin waffles with your favorite pancake syrup, our 5 minute cinnamon syrup puts these waffles over the top! Freezer Friendly: Make a big batch and store them in the freezer to enjoy all season long.
Ingredients:
Pantry Staples: Sugar, cornstarch, flour, baking powder, oil. Spices: Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and salt to add a sharpness and depth of flavor to the waffles. Beaten Egg Whites – I love folding stiff egg whites into waffle batter. Just like in my Belgian Waffle recipe, it gives them a light and fluffy texture that you can’t get any other way. Pumpkin: Canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree Milk: Any kind will work.
How to Make Pumpkin Waffles:
Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk brown sugar and cornstarch to break apart the cornstarch then add the remaining dry ingredients and stir. Mix Wet Ingredients: Separate the eggs then add the pumpkin and milk to the egg yolks; whisk to blend well. Add oil then whisk to blend and set aside. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients and mix them together until just combined. Fold in Egg Whites: Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the egg whites until blended. Cook: Pour the batter on the heated waffle iron and cook to perfection! Make Cinnamon Syrup: Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat then stir in the evaporated milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Serve pumpkin spice waffles with our amazing cinnamon cream syrup or buttermilk syrup and a side of fruit.
Storing and Freezing Pumpkin Waffles:
To Store: Keep leftover easy pumpkin waffles in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat by popping them in the toaster. To Freeze: Allow the waffles to cool completely and then freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer safe ziplock bag or container. Reheat them in the toaster.
